"... A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body, and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. ..."
~ Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr,
Paris, August 19, 1785

Having comments on your blog.......

.... Is like leaving all of your doors and windows open - It only invites the riff-raff (trolls) in to muck things up. Therefore, I will no longer allow the idiots of the world to post on my blog.
